		<description>Many thanks for featuring me, and congratulations to sr28 for dipping faster at the finish line! I&#039;d feel bad, but I was too busy laughing at the hilarious illustration of the chicken-headed superhero -- great stuff!</description>

		<description>Thanks for including pixelresort in this - it&#039;s due for a complete redesign which will be launching in a few days, couldn&#039;t think of a better way to retire it. And thanks to the voters :)</description>

		<description>I am always fond of free designs or design contest but i have heard about a new thing. That is free design and themes contain hidden keywords for search engine optimization. I am so much hurt of the news.</description>

		<description>Thanks everyone for your votes. You&#039;re participation is greatly appreciated.

Katy,
You&#039;re welcome and good luck!

David,
Your blog design is one of my favorites. I would have been very surprised if it didn&#039;t make it past the 1st round.

April,
I&#039;m not a fan of light on dark for blogs. I think the design looks nice, but readability suffers. Other types of sites are better suited for that style in my opinion. Still, I think they look great when judging on looks alone.</description>

		<description>These are such amazing looking designs but I can&#039;t understand why there are people still creating themes with white text on a black background.  I&#039;ve only started doing this on some of my blogs to increase the CTR for adsense because people find it so difficult to read the text!</description>

		<description>Some of these are real tough to decide on. 

I can&#039;t think of a more fun way to practice my decisiveness.</description>
